FAREWELL TO 2013

Painted back in January of 2013 this one was inspired by a wintry snowy day in the Midwest. It's one of the few verticals as I usually feel more comfortable working horizontally. I would like to stretch myself a bit and work a few more verticals into my inventory. As the end of the year and a new year approaches resolutions and goals for 2014 are being made. I try and keep mine simple as #1 i'll forget and #2 i'm really not a goal setter. Just ask my kids and they will tell you mom's philosophy is "it'll all work out". However it has been helpful to me go back and study what was produced over this last year in a time of reflecting.Here are some goals:

*work more specifically with large canvases*continue experimenting with new developments in style*phase out of the small abstracts*take floral abstracts in a new direction*incorporate figures into abstracts*draw moreHow about yours?!Cheers to a New Year….God Bless.Elizabeth ChapmanContemporary Abstract Artist

About Me

Hi and welcome to my blog. I'm Elizabeth a professional artist working and running my small business out of my home studio in the beautiful Ozarks. I am a self taught artist working primarily as an abstract expressionist painter. Often times it is the the first strokes that can be the hardest. From these small beginnings I will work intuitively with one idea leading to the next then the next, and next until a painting emerges. The majority of my paintings are non-representational, although from time to time I will use florals, hearts and figures as the subject matter. All my paintings are ORIGINAL works on canvas or paper. My paintings can be purchased directly from me. Email: elizabethchapman@gmail.com. A complete portfolio of my work can be viewed:HERE. I am glad you have found me and I hope you enjoy viewing my paintings. Your support is much appreciated. Thank you!
